THE REFLEXIVE QUOTA HIRE SAYS A LOT ABOUT HIM...

Obama Fails To Quell Row Over an Anti-Gay Singer (NICHOLAS WAPSHOTT, October 26, 2007, NY Sun)

A frantic effort by Senator Obama to defuse a row over the appearance of a homophobic gospel singer at a fund-raising concert appears only to have made matters worse.

Mr. Obama's presidential campaign hurriedly added to the concert program yesterday an openly gay white minister, the Reverend Andy Sidden, to counteract the bad publicity generated by its decision to invite the Reverend Donnie McClurkin, a gospel singer who has described homosexuality as a "curse," to headline a fund-raising event on Sunday in Columbia, S.C.

The incident reflects the need for Democratic candidates to juggle the often conflicting demands of their supporters.


..all of it bad. Poor guy's in way over his head.

But it sure did suck up a chuck of money that won't be spent post primary.

He'll learn while he's serving as Hillary's VP. [Heaven forbid]

Wonder what's on Rev. Sidden's setlist:
"My Boyfriend's Back"?
"He's So Fine"?
A medly of Judy Garland standards?
